Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On May 16, 2008, in connection with the actions of Lenox Group Inc. (the “Company”) to reduce costs in response to current economic conditions, the Company entered into a fourth amendment (the “Fourth Amendment”) to its consulting agreement with Carl Marks Advisory Group LLC (“CMAG”), dated January 4, 2007, as amended on January 24, 2007, April 5, 2007 and January 28, 2008 (collectively, the “Consulting Agreement”). The details of the Consulting Agreement have been previously described in the Company’s Current Reports on Form 8-K filed on January 9, 2007, January 29, 2007, April 5, 2007 and January 31, 2008.

The Fourth Amendment amends Section 2(a) of the Consulting Agreement to discount the consulting fees owed to CMAG for the services of Marc L. Pfefferle as Interim Chief Executive Officer of the Company and the other CMAG consultants by 12.5% commencing May 1, 2008. In addition, the Fourth Amendment provides that if the strategic alternatives process results in the sale or merger of substantially all of the Company. the Company will pay CMAG the discounted portion of the fees earned since May 1, 2008 plus 25% of the discounted portion of the fees for a total of 103.125% of the pre-May 1, 2008 fee amounts. If a success fee is earned pursuant to the January 28, 2008 amendment to the Consulting Agreement, the additional 3.125% will be credited against the amount of the success fee owed to CMAG under the Consulting Agreement.

The foregoing description of the terms of the Fourth Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Fourth Amendment attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.02

Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

(e) On May 15, 2008, in connection with the Company’s actions to reduce costs in response to current economic conditions, the Company entered into Amendment No. 2 (the “Second Amendment”) to the Letter Agreement with Mr. Spivak dated as of November 9, 2007, as amended on January 30, 2008 (collectively, the “Letter Agreement”). The details of the Letter Agreement have been previously described in the Company’s Current Reports on Form 8-K filed on November 7, 2007 and January 31, 2008.

The Second Amendment amends the terms of Mr. Spivak’s cash bonus as provided in the Letter Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Second Amendment, Mr. Spivak remains eligible to participate in the Company’s annual cash incentive program with a target bonus level of 55% of base salary and a maximum bonus level of 82.5% of base salary, the actual payout amount dependent on the Company’s financial performance against certain financial metrics preset by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors. However, the Second Amendment reduces the guaranteed cash bonus to which Mr Spivak is entitled for fiscal year 2008 by 12.5% to $109,375, which will be offset against any performance based cash bonus earned pursuant to the annual cash incentive program.

The foregoing description of the terms of the Second Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of Second Amendment attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.2 and incorporated herein by reference.
